Botany
A member, and later president, of the Academie des Sciences, French
botanist and doctor Rene Louiche Desfontaines (1750-1833) spent the
years 1783-5 on an expedition to North Africa. During his time in
Tunisia and Algeria, he collected over a thousand plant specimens:
more than three hundred genera were new to European naturalists at
this time. Having succeeded Le Monnier in the chair of botany at
the Jardin du Roi in 1786, Desfontaines helped found the Institut
de France following the Revolution and published his two-volume
Flora atlantica in Latin in 1798-9. A lavishly illustrated second
edition appeared in four volumes in 1800. Combining its two volumes
of plates into one, this reissue will give modern researchers an
insight into the promulgation of pioneering plant science. Volume 1
contains the first thirteen classes of plants in the Linnaean
system of taxonomy, from Monandria to Polyandria.
